This page: http://www.nmm.ac.uk/mag/pages/mnuExplore/PaintingDetail.cfm?lettera=k&ID=BHC2912&name=George%20Knapton&action=ArtistTitle says he was born likely in 1660 , not 1670.

Heathcote also says 1660 but both ODNB and DCB say 1670/71. Dormskirk (talk) 20:32, 12 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:John Norris (Royal Navy officer)/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

Spread out sentences should be organized in paragraphs; the article generally should be wikified. Citations would help, too, if the article is to move up to B-class. Coemgenus 21:32, 26 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Perhaps promotions were temporary then? London Gazette 6630 page 3 appears to appoint him Admiral in December 1727, long after other sources say he attained the rank. Had his previous commission lapsed?LE (talk) 17:27, 29 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
